- Why? The cast.

If I had noticed that this was directed
by Woody Allen, I wouldn’t have bought it. The clips I’ve seen from his films
have not tempted me to see more. But with the cast, especially Morton, it might
be worth giving it a try.
It’s not. Penn is a thoroughly unlikeable
character, Morton is a mute, Thurman is, well, I don’t know, I fell asleep.
This will be my last Woody Allen film if I can help it, no matter who’s in them.
